Decimonovena Reunión del Comité Ejecutivo de la Conferencia Estadística de las Américas de la CEPAL

 

On the final day of the nineteenth meeting of the Executive Committee of the Statistical Conference of ECLAC, authorities from the national statistical offices of Latin America and the Caribbean recognized the role of official statistics in the development of public policies for mitigating the effects of the health emergency prompted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) and in the post-pandemic economic reactivation.

During the meeting, the countries commended national statistical offices and other agencies producing official statistics for the various actions taken to provide continuity in statistical production during the pandemic, and encouraged them to identify innovations and good practices implemented during this period that can be adopted on a permanent basis to strengthen the efficiency of statistical operations and the quality of official statistics.
